Show Desert Range C. C. C. Camp By Marv Smith, Camp Correspondent Camp Holds "Smoker" Lieutenant Bergstrom took charge of the "Smoker" which consisted of a program of music, boxing and refreshments, held last Friday night at the camp. The evening proved very lively and interesting. Blake Reynolds displayed dis-played ability on the harmonica. Lowell Hutchings, Charles Jones, Stan Harris and Bert Bennett sang solos. Entertaining readings were given by Ralph Brown and Mr. White, forest foreman. An "Amos and Andy" was staged by Stan Harris and Grant Murdock. Rex Elmer contributed with his guitar. Some very interesting boxing bouts were held. John Nunley and Nic Nichols mixed it in good .fashion .fash-ion until Nic got his eye cut and the bout was stopped. Rex Elmer and Jeff Pelton traded punches for three 2-minute rounds to a draw. The battle of the giants took place when popular Joe Wil-I Wil-I son weaved into big Pete DeHart with mitts flying. These boys made things interesting for three rounds which ended in a draw. Another free-for-all between Bob Brooks and Henry Piep ended in a draw. "Catch as catch can" was their motto. With much gusto, Brooks brought his punches from almost anywhere floor, behind his right ear, ceiling or from down the cellar behind the axe. If Henry had taken these haymakers "straight" and without a chaser, he would have to have had the inertia of an elephant to remain on his feet. However, his calmness calm-ness and reciprocity evened things up. Perhaps the most interesting and unexpected fight of the evening eve-ning occurred between Kliff "Alice" Kaufman and Dave "In-i "In-i terno" Bean. The "Goon" girl entered the ring with much mis-1 mis-1 giving, but after two fast rounds with "Chile" Bean, finally warmed j up to the occasion and was doing the agressive work in the last. "Lima" had the dancing doll worried wor-ried with his steady attack until she discovered she could take it. Then as "String" wearied, "Alice" went hard to work and finally eked out a decision. When the fun was over, ice cream, cake, coffee and assorted nuts were served to the crowd. "Here's where I cut a good figure," said a Milford girl as she sat down on a broken bottle. Congrats to Captain Frake Captain C. O. Frake (formerly lieutenant) is to be congratulated on his promotion to the rank of captain. After a week's leave he will be transferred to the Moapa, Nevada, CCC camp. The camp personnel is sorry to lose him as he is very much liked and respected respect-ed by everyone. Welcome, Lieutenant Kingdon With the pending transfer of Captain Frake, Lieutenant Earl G. Kingdon of the 386th Field Artillery Artil-lery Reserve has been ordered to active duty with this camp. Lieutenant Lieu-tenant Kingdon is pleased with his assignment to this section of the country as it has been his desire de-sire to visit this part of the state for some time. The lieutenant is a native of Salt Lake and took premedics at the University of Utah for 3 years. Then for a short period he worked for the government on Lake Erie. Fort Collins, Colorado, has been his homel for the past SV2 years while he has been studying as a veterinarian at the Colorado Agricultural Agri-cultural college. Tennis and hockey furnish most interest for the lieutenant lieu-tenant along athletic lines. Quite naturally, a sympathy for animals has developed with the lieutenant, and he has a liking for purebread dogs, especially the German police and wire-haired types. "Porky" Evans "Yes, Vienna is a wonderful place; wonderful theatres and such." Joe Wilson "Have you ever been there?" "Porky" "No, but my grandfather grand-father once thought of going." Co. Clerk (to Captain Walker) "Thanks for the use of your car last night we had a swell time." Captain -"Who is we?" C. C. "Oh, a couple of the boys." Captain "Well, tell them I found their lipstick." |
